I'm making one of my regular trips to Dover next week from Norfolk, I generally pickup my connection at Stratford International - I notice that the 1119 arrives at Dover Priory at 1231.
There is no reference to a replacement bus service?
As it some 6 weeks since the train line was closed, one would have assumed that time tables would have been updated?
Surely it's only a matter of altering data in a spreadsheet or database - or am I asking too much?
Or will the line be open for next Wednesday!
I have attempted to copy the relevant timetable here but have been unable so to do!

You are asking for far too much! You'll need to get the replacement bus from Folkestone I'm afraid. It'll be months before all is up and running again.

Yes Paul, I'm only too well aware I'm asking for too much!
But one would have thought that by now some reference to a bus would be able to be included in the timetable!
I am aware of the problem, but many others are being fobbed off with totally inaccurate or lack of information!
Probably easier to go via Victoria!

For some reason the National Journey Planner has not been programmed with the replacement bus service for journeys to/from beyond London. For journeys just to/from London, the bus service is shown. The mysteries of modern technology!

Indeed Lew, strange that when price rises are applied it takes effect almost immediately - I was clearly asking far too much!
